Hi Andrew,

I've resurrected Frank's patch and appended it to mine as a series.

First patch here is my original patch, 3rd is Frank's patch but with
the unittest changes pulled out into the 2nd patch. That was re-worked
moving the source building macro into scripts/Makefile.lib.

Patches 4, 5, and 6 are an attempt at renaming all the existing DTB
overlays. Split out by platform so they could be taken by platform
maintainers or if easier ACK'd here and taken all together.

This should cover all the DTB overlays so we can remove the old .dts
rule for overlays and make .dtso the only supported way, let me know
if we want that this cycle and I can post that too.

Thanks a lot for picking this up!

Everything builds still fine, and the OF unit tests still run fine, so

BTW, you missed the Smarthome-Wolf Pi433 overlay[1] and its
documentation[2] under drivers/staging/, but perhaps that was
intentional, as it is not tied into the build system?


Wasn't really sure about that one, but it seems simple enough to rename,
will add a patch for that in v2. Will also fix the wording in the last
3 patches as suggested.

Thanks,
Andrew
